Unfortunately, silence has a liberal bias also.

Regrettably, "unfortunately" is a liberally-biased word.

Of course the dictionaries have a political agenda you sheeple.

Date: 14th century

What the fark do you call that?!

God dammit so much. This country is farking doomed if the major opposition continues to loudly and proudly proclaim their ignorance as a good thing.

When one deals only with lies and "faith", it is no surprise that truth and fact would seem like a threat.

It's amazing that the wingnuts in this country are rabid enough to fuel a propaganda machine of this size. It's going to be interesting to watch what happens as they continue to splinter.

A change Merriam-webster made five years ago, but you twatbags have been too busy whining to notice, until you ran out of every other scrap of anti-gay-marriage rhetoric?

"Today, we hate... pickles! Vlasic has a well-known liberal bias!"

Where I live people of the same sex get married every day.

Why shouldn't that fact be in a dictionary?

The pickle subthread gave me bruises from falling out of my chair, and questions from the roommates about my sanity.

And that could totally be Domo-kun's cousin... (not his *intelligent*, cousin, mind...)

In many English-speaking countries, the definition of marriage includes same-sex couples. An English-language dictionary should include that fact in its definition of the word. If it didn't, it would show a political bias.

/ironic, no?

where I grew up, people who used the word shvartze usually weren't using the term in a complementary or positive sentence.

 
USP .45 2009-03-20 03:09:41 AM  
Although I lol'd at the headline, Goldberg was clearly being facetious, you morons.

The sad part is Goldberg isn't exactly a mental deficient. However over the last several years he's kinda uh gone to seed.

bobbette [TotalFark] 2009-03-20 03:28:06 AM  
Going with the threadjack, I love seeing US conservatives all butthurt about the dictionary marriage change. You CAN blame this one on Canada, we were the first English-speaking (and second French-speaking) country to legalize same-sex marriage and stop messing around with the civilunionized BS.

ATTN US CONSERVATIVES: Your marriage is totally destroyed now! We did it.

images.ctv.ca

Oh snap. You're so repressed that recognizing that gay people exist is deeply threatening to you, and you're so historically ignorant that you think that recognizing that gay people's relationships exist will somehow change a western civilization that has always been chock full of the gay.

Anyways, re: TFA: I have no idea if schvartze is really offensive. I don't speak Yiddish. I think schwarze - the German word it's based on, which is the word for black - is not offensive. "Swarthy" in English definitely is offensive though.

So what, reality has a liberal bias. What are they going to do about that?

 
AgentOrangeDrink 2009-03-20 04:05:45 AM  
This is just an important step towards the inevitable conclusion in which conservatives begin to use a language based solely on grunts. It was good enough for our ancestors and we need to go back to it! I mean, RUH RUH RUH!! GLARB!

Look at the post above yours for a wake up call as to how long someone can deny reality. For many of our fellow Americans, it seems to be a lifelong calling, almost elevated to the status of a religion of sorts.
